Mother's Day

This was our dining room on Friday morning:



We had a couple issues for todays breakfast:
1. our round table did not have enough room for 6
2. we needed a little more romance!
While I am still not ready to commit to hanging anything just yet, I think we came a long way by just adding our old rectangular table and reorganizing the layout.
And here was our dining room today!




(we LOVE our pelegrino Panna water!)

    YUM!!!!! BREAKFAST THAT REMINDS ME OF SWEETS IS THE BEST! (I HAD A CHOCOLATE CHIP BAGEL WITH HAZELNUT CREAM CHEESE FOR BREAKFAST! MMMMM)
    HOPE YOUR DAY WAS AS RELAXING AND BEAUTIFUL AS THIS PIC!!!

    It looks amazing! My husband will never let me have that much white in our house so I have to live vicariously through your blog :-)

    You definitely pulled off the romantic vibe you wanted - what a transformation! I love the cherry blossom tree and the chair cover idea. And the big clock is so cool!

    Everything looks fabulous! Very clean and romantic... I'm always in awe of all the white. I'd love to do it but with a black dog, grey cat, black cat and lots of marinara being eaten... white is not the color for us! :)

    Gorgeous! It's so amazing what a few new pieces can do to a room. It really looks a like a totally different room PLUS I absolutely love your dark floors.
